Monica and veronica are making strawberry pineapple smoothies. for every 1 1/2 cups of strawberries, they use
3/4 cups of pineapple. monica and veronica have already put 1 cup of pineapple into the blender. the girls
cannot agree how many cups of strawberries to add to the blender to keep the same ratio, so they each did some
work to determine the number of cups of strawberries necessary for the smoothie.

175

step-by-step explanation:

2 inches x 10 miles = 200 miles - 3 inches = 175

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
